Onething, i start Nativecam and when try to run any Feature i get an error,
Someone can help me with this?
My installation is under Debian.

Have you change the SUBROUTINE_PATH in the
inifile ? It is trying to execute select.ngc from lib/utilities

Read the ini files in the ncam_demo directories

Thank you Fern, the new update works perfectly. Now I'm trying to get my tool change: I put M61 Q (T) at the beginning of each file, and then I do the Z tool touch off with a mobile probe plate

I think I have good news for lathe users!
I've cloned the repository a few days ago and so far I've managed to bring in some of the features that were implemented by Nick in his youtube demo. So far I have Facing, OD, ID, Taper, External Thread, Inner Thread..
There are still some features to import then I will make a pull request so that Fern can review and possibly integrate!
Thanks to Fern & Nick for the way NativeCam is written; its very customizable and quite easy to add new routines.

Hi vmihalca,
Wow :ohmy: I would like to see a video -please- on how to add (import) subroutines, thank you!

Please ALWAYS post your questions, requests or other here for anyone to read it and benefit from it and NEVER erase it

I was able to do some testing/work with it this weekend and today.

The main question that came up is how to make a circular pocket.
We wanted to remove all the material and ended up making several circles.
It seems that native cam as a system generates the spiral milling path for each circle on some parameters but we could not find how to set those. The inner circle made more passes than the bigger ones.

It worked fine in the end but we'd like to be able to (if possible):
- Just use one command to generate a circular pocket where all material is removed
- Easily set the amount of passes that are made

But it has to be said, we were very please with how the results cam out and how easy native cam is to use, well done!
